CCM QB- awful running game

[tebowtime15]

Has anyone found the settings/slider set if you are playing as a QB in CCM? Ive tried numerous sets and my running backs always look as if they are running blindfolded. I have yet to have a game where my running back even sniffs a 100 yards. I played through a whole year and Fred Jackson average 2.1 yards per carry.

I agree it is terrible. Between that and the crazy trading and signing my AI controlled coach was doing, I had to quit my player CCM and just go the franchise route.

I am also a ccm qb. After 4 years I have landed on these settings for the run game. They may look a little extreme, but the AI running back is so stupid that these settings barely make up for it. all other settings are default.

player run blocking at 75 - 100,
cpu run reaction time at 0.

I am playing as QB of the Falcons and I agree. Turner can only average around 3 ypc and that's against the worst defenses. I have a question about player CCM's as well, is anyone else having trouble when simming on defense? My Falcons D never gets a stop and can't hold anyone under 400 yards of offense. I have the worst rated d in the league and the Falcons have far too many good players on that side of the ball for that to happen. Is this a bug that occurs when you sim on D?

Yea I'm Luck. Brown is not amazing but he averages 1.2 ypc. Straight Crap

They don't see the holes that we see, that's the problem. They don't try and bounce it to the outside of the middle is clearly stuffed. They just take the loss.

My theory is when they added infinity, they didn't change the AI for running backs. Last year the AI relied on breaking tackles and not on trying to evade them. they don't seem to know that running straight up the middle, usually into their own blockers will lead to disaster.

My D has actually been pretty solid. The only issue I'm really having is with the Human run game. It's really hard to play as much as I want to do a CCM QB.

It sucks because I feel like I'm cheesing whenever I have to bounce 80% of my runs to the outside because I know I'm going to run into my offensive lineman's shoelace and fall down.

Yea I was getting ready to play the Texans in the wildcard game to see that Jason Campbell was their QB and Schaub was with the browns..

Re: CCM QB- awful running game

It took me about 6 games (2.6 Avg) with Beanie Wells to realize he wasn't gonna have any production unless I really dumbed down the run defense. After messing with the sliders, he finished the season with 299 carries for 1150 yds (3.8 avg), and 4 or 5 100 yard games, all of them coming after I found my perfect and dramatic sliders. It's nice because he got stuffed by the 49ers in both games and he can run better against average and poor run defensive teams.

Playing 8 minute quarters on All-Pro:

CPU* Broken Tackles - 55
CPU* Run Blocking - 95
CPU Rush Defense Reaction Time - 10
CPU Block Shedding - 35
CPU Tackling - 35

*Not sure if it's considered the CPU or the Human running the ball and blocking so I just change both in these categories

Hope this helps!

Re: CCM QB- awful running game

This probably my biggest issue with M13, so much that I'm afraid to call runs on critical short yardage plays because Adrian Peterson just dances behind the line of scrimmage.

Strangely enough when his backup comes in he runs better, so wonder if it has to do with better backs having higher ratings and just having to show off.

Anyways, I plugged in the ratings from this thread and have noticed an improvement. The CCM has kinda turned into 'omg must put up monster stats every game' since then though, and since we're all QBs/WRs running has kinda fallen by the wayside.

I'm going to give these a shot later!

I don't want to be able to put up monster numbers every game. But I do expect to be able to run for more than 40 yards against a team like new england. I can live with getting crushed by the 49ers D.
